I hope

Usually, I'm not one to wish serious harm on anyone, but I can't stay quiet anymore. The behavior of the President (not the "administration" but the PRESIDENT) has become such that all I want more than anything in this world is for him to see the Golden Rule enacted towards him. This drunken frat boy act has gone on long enough, and now his pseudo-Christian sensibilities have endangered every man, woman, and child in America. Sure, we've lived with cancer, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, MS, and the hundreds of other diseases that science has PROVEN can be treated with stem cells before this, but never before have we been so incredibly close to the prospect of using stem cells to actually treat these diseases and seen our hopes dashed with the simple swish of a pen.

As the niece of a Parkinsons sufferer and the granddaughter of two women who spent years winning and losing battles with cancer, this hurts. I am comforted by the fact that this will all eventually shake out in karma, but I have a few suggestions for God on how this could happen. Please note, I am not advocating that anyone who reads this blog actually make these happen, nor am I threatening the President in any way. These are just the musings of a tired, frustrated, and hurt American citizen who is taking advantage of the free thought and free speech that this country was founded on.

I hope:

• That the President loses a daughter in a senseless act of violence...so that he may know the loss of a soldier's mother.
• That the President is prevented from voting by a "clerical error"...so that he may know the frustrations of Democratic voters.
• That a member of his family is captured, tortured, and killed in a country that hates us, then has their picture matted and framed for a press conference...so that he may know what it's like to be a "liberated Iraqi."
• That the President finds himself stranded in a dangerous situation desperate for rescue and is told, "Don't call us, we'll call you."...so that he may know the fear of the New Orleaneans and the American citizens stranded in Lebanon.

and finally...

• That the President develops Parkinson's Disease and must live with the tremors and the loss of his bodily functions...so that he may know that the lack of a cure lay squarely on his shoulders.

It'll never happen, but a girl can dream.
